An excellent grilled fish recipe that I serve with other grilled vegetables and lemon rice pilaf. Yum! Marinate time is 30 minutes. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press |
1/4 red onions or 1/4 yellow sweet onion, cut into thin vertical slices |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup basil |
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (each steak should be about 1/2 lb. each) |
lime wedge (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
2. Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.
3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Grill or broil the fish steaks about 3 inches from heat source for 5-7 minutes (time depends on how hot the heat source is), or until lightly browned on one side.
5. Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
6. Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak-fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.
7. Serve steaks on individual plates with lime wedge for garnish.
8. I like to squeeze the lime wedge over the fish for extra POW.
